dustyjeeper http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/p.../rv-lights/11599.htm PPL has the tail lights or just the lenses. After some thought ....... I went ahead and gutted the barth because I found insulation damaged from water,mice, and missing from the factory.

I have spray foam to replace the insulation.

bill hWOW! Big Job.
First, let me compliment you on such good floor plan drawing.
Seeing the two together really shows the advantage or your redesign. I have always thought that dinettes were not the best use of space. At least, not unless you have a lot of length.
And the front half of your coach should be a lot lighter and brighter now.

Bill N.Y.Bravo... Very nice job indeed. Can't wait to see the final cut.
But, then again... when you tinker, nothing is final.

Please, if you would, could you please take a picture of your data tag. I have the number, but I want to add it to the project along with the vin#

Bill N.Y.What does your Vin# say on the title? Is it the s7801 2349 MC22 FP2
When we started to do this project, we've found several coaches that were registered with the Data Tag # as the vin# so it would not be surprising. If this is the case, your actual vin# is located around the brake booster as pictured here.

I'd call that a little more than tinkering! Great job.

dustyjeeperFiguring out pics takes me longer than working on the Barth. So I'm headed back to the garage.
As you know we have another Barth that did get the queen bed. This 22 footer will soon be a 16 foot long rv I'm calling Cabin Fever.
The window and storage door in back are gone, rear gas tank removed, propane tank, generator, water tank all moved forward. The lifting blocks above rear springs will be removed. I'm hoping to tuck the bumpers in and keep overall length at 16 foot.

Sloop John BOr you could make the lower half fold down and the upper half go up and have a sun deck.
